What Is Massage Cupping?
Cupping Massage, also known as Baguanfa, is one of the many terms used for suction cup therapy. Unlike traditional massage techniques, tissue is lifted up and away, releasing tight muscles, relieving congestion and detoxifying the body. The negative pressure that this technique creates is non invasive and creates an incredible sensation of deep relaxation and tissue release.
Massage Cupping sedates the nervous system, allowing a deep relaxation to move through the entire body. It is not unusual to fall asleep when receiving this treatment. People are often surprised at how relaxed, warm and light they feel-hours… sometimes days after wards. Because it has such calming and sedating effects, clients with high blood pressure and stress-related ailments have found this therapy very beneficial. Cupping achieves excellent results for a broad range of issues including but not limited to:
| Headaches Muscle pain & tightness Back Pain Shoulder & Neck tension Carpal Tunnel Syndrome |
Sciatica Fibromyalgia Jaw discomfort Sinus pain Menstrual Discomfort Chronic Pain |
Stress relief, tension, anxiety, or depression Helps detoxify your body Strengthens your Immune system Improves quality of sleep |
What are the discolorations that sometimes occur with treatment?
The suction created during massage cupping draws stagnant blood and fluid to the surface of the skin. Depending on the level of toxins drawn up, the skin’s discoloration could be anything from light pink to a dark purple-black color. These areas may look tender, but they are not painful and often clients will feel a sense of relief and change in the tissue. The markings can last anywhere from a few hours to two weeks, and will occur less frequently with successive treatments.
Will it hurt?
Cupping can feel deeply pleasurable or mildly uncomfortable, depending on the individual. It is not unusual to fall asleep during this treatment. Clients are often surprised at how relaxed, warm and light they feel hours… sometimes days after.
How does Massage Cupping Help me?
By creating suction and negative pressure, cupping has been found to affect the body up to four inches into the tissues, which is used to treat muscle pain and spasms, drain excess fluids and toxins, loosen adhesions, connective tissue and stubborn knots in soft tissue, stimulate blood circulation and bring blood flow to nourish stagnant muscles and skin, enhance the flow of energy, stimulate the peripheral nervous system, activate the lymphatic system, clear colon blockages, help activate and clear the arteries, veins, and capillaries, and improve varicose veins.
Increase your benefits with frequent cupping massage sessions. Getting a massage can do you a world of good. Getting massage frequently can do even more. Taking part in this form of regularly scheduled self-care can play a huge part in how healthy you’ll be and how youthful you’ll remain with each passing year. Budgeting time and money for bodywork at consistent intervals is truly an investment in your health. And remember: just because massage feels like a pampering treat doesn’t mean it is any less therapeutic. Consider massage appointments a necessary piece of your health and wellness plan.
